Slimduct-Wall of Fame of Wall of Shame

What do you think?

Consider-double blocking of 2 X4's instead of use of offsets and the exposed lineset above the windows. Price cannot be discussed here, but you would not believe what we paid for this. Quote said "encase the piping
within Slim Ducting which provides a clean finished look".

I think the whole installation needs a rethinking, did the piping really have to go out this wall and run between the windows? I bet the HO would have preferred the piping running down the inside of a closet and then existing out the side wall in a less conspicuous area, or maybe down to the basement and out the sidewall.

Don't tell me it can't be done my area is filled with these types of old houses. We rarely run the piping exposed outside.

This was a replacement job. I spent a good deal of time with the owner of the company trying to figure out where we could locate the condenser unit to avoid this lineset issue, and he assured me he would make it look better. When he came back to look at what is shown in the pictures, he did not really see the problem. There were many other issues with this install detailed in other threads.

It is hard to find people who have pride in workmanship anymore. It is a shame.

(The wise men of modern thought) adore a god made of putty or of wax - plastic, effeminate, molluscous, with no masculine faculty about him, and no quality that entitles him to the respect of just and honest men, for a being who cannot be angry at wrongdoing is destitute of one of the essential virtues, and a moral Ruler who is not angry with the wicked, and who refuses to punish crime, is not divine. ---Spurgeon

If I showed up and my install looked like that I would have the installers. Craftsmanship is definitely not a expression here.....more like its almost beer 30 and we need to get done today. Sorry this happened to you bydabeach.

If your not getting the results you desire then change. People change from either desperation or inspiration.
